The article reminds me on smart and competent people, that in addition to being smart lack the feeling for social norms and empathy. Yes, they tend to unnecessarily run into arguments and fights. Not because they are right, but because they are really insisting on being right. They are pushing the "enemy" into a corner where they would have to declare defeat in public and take the shame. Like animals, their opponents get very uneasy and aggressive in such a situation. People who watch this hate the "clever" person for not handling this more gracefully, and are afraid of being themselves caught in the corner the next time. You lost.
Without knowing the author personally its hard to tell, so this is just my hypothesis/thought.
I disagree on one point though: You don't have to stop arguing, you just should do it differently. You will really "win" when the other person thinks it was actually their own idea, or that you came to this conclusion together. You can do so by staying kind, humble and polite and guide the other person towards this revelation, and offer small thoughts and hints. If you have charisma you can be more direct, but such people are in a different league anyways.
The most important thing is staying friendly and kind. You will never convince or win people with an offensive "YOU ARE WRONG!" attitude.
It was very obvious that Trump is a highly corrupt and incompetent person at the second term election. His voters do not disappear when he is in prison, neither would the US reputation suddenly be way better. Who will these people elect next, why should anyone trust the US anymore?
Imprisonment would be a good starting point though. Together with education, regulation and reforming the political system. But this takes decades.
As bank I'd look into these 4.x % of loans where the machine learning disagrees.
This headline feels like 20 years old though, except for calling it "AI".
This is a visualization tool of an IPCC study where you can compare various climate scenarios. All the data and publications are available there too:
https://hotspots-explorer.org/
By the way, it's quite hard to nail down what exactly a certain region will look like in 30 years. That depends a whole lot on the assumptions that you take.
The models used for such work (IPCC etc) are rather suitable to compare actions, e.g. "If we don't take measure X and Y now, then the average temperature in this region will be 0.7° higher 30 years from now, compared to taking that measure."
When receiving the vaccination in Austria, I was told to avoid physical activity or sports for three days. The nurse told that a befriended doctor was treating a couple of patients, all of them young males, with myocarditis after the vaccination. Does anybody else have a source for that?
The article unfortunately doesn't mention this. But maybe in the US military, and among young fit males in general, such an exercise pause isn't taken.
Thank you, this comes in handy and was really missing!
It's sad that the newest phone supporting lineage 17.1 and a swappable battery is from 2015.
Another nice feature would be to list the phones that unofficial lineage images exist for - like my moto G5 which works very well.
I'm not sure whether you are serious. But if you are: There are not many people who agree on your opinion, otherwise the share price would be way higher.
I am a software developer who uses Linux exclusively since about 2000 and has contributed indirectly to Debian.
Last week I wanted to setup Debian on my new work laptop. Naively and without thinking much I downloaded the default image, so the wifi card didn't work.
I was on holiday, abroad with friends. Even with both the buster and testing non-free images the wifi card didn't work.
After three hours (downloading, installing a cd creator on a mac of a friend etc) I got frustrated, downloaded an Ubuntu image and it just worked.
That's a great opportunity to build similar code-hosting platforms (and other software/services) outside of the US. Just for political reasons many people might like to switch...
How do you come to this conclusion, and what exactly do you mean by "free software community"? Github/Microsoft?
There are quite some free software projects that use their own code hosting (e.g. https://salsa.debian.org). But if you don't have time for that and use github for your OSS project you are now disgusting because of the iranian sanctions?
How about gender equality? CO2 neutral servers? Why are the ones that put effort into building and improving things blamed for not being at least perfect?
Only 42 % of the emitted CO2 stays in the atmosphere[1], the rest is soaked up by land and ocean. The article only relates to the CO2 in the atmosphere.
> The analysis found there are 1.7bn hectares of treeless
land on which 1.2tn native tree saplings would naturally grow.
> Crowther’s team calculated that there are currently about
3tn trees in the world, which is about half the number that existed before
I really hope this study is solid, but how can 1.2tn re-planted trees make up for a loss of 3tn logged ones? And moreover cover the CO2 of all that burned coal and oil?
